A great j crop of new teachers and aides has been drawn from inside and out of the county, and they're all ready and anxious to begin. The teaming of these new teachers with our returning professionals should serve our children and our community well. At the Elementary School, Ren Dietel and Michael Stout will share the teaching of sixth grade social studies. This team comes to us from Seattle, where they taught at the Bush School. Dietel's aim is to promote lifelong learning, while Stout's teaching philosophy is to "work hard, have fun and keep things interesting." Becky Ernest says that she's excited about her new kindergarten teaching assignment. She loves camping, especially with her boys, and should have no problem finding new camping spots in Rappahannock. Her favorite book: When I Am An Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple. Mary Ann Frazier, a Rappahannock native, "loves it here" and will work in the school system as a preschool aide. Kindergarten aide, Michele Herbert, believes "that every child is important and deserves as much attention as possible with constant praise and love." Her favorite activities include being with her husband and three children, teaching a missions class and helping with her daughter s Lurl Scout Troop. Jared Nieters will teach seventh grade civics/economics, and came to Rappahannock because he was "looking for a quiet place to settle down.” His philosophy is "to hold everyone to high expectations." Favorite book: Slaughterhouse Five. David Roherts will teach sixth | grade special education, and enjoys sports and reading. He was educated at Radford University^ and last taught at the Northern Virginia Training Center. Connie Thomas will serve as a library aide and help in the seventh grade computer lab. Thomas is a graduate of RCHS, and loves the county and working with children. Fourth grade teacher Barbara Wheatley has an M. Ed. from Wichita State University, and ten years of teaching experience in Kansas, Texas and California. She and her family are here for "a change of life" and her favorite . . . her fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Robinson, who inspired Barbara to become a teacher herself. At the high school, Angela Boubouheropoulos will teach ninth grade English and creative writing. She came to Rappahannock: to teach, I to escape Tidewater, and because it's a beautiful area. Among her favorites are James Joyce’s Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and a quote from Yoda, "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." Her teaching See TEACHERS, Page A7 Welcome aboard!

Nature resolves a garden dilemma-the homworm? My vegetable garden is under my study window and consists of yellow squash, okra, green beans, two eggplants and an excess of tomato plants. Since my interest is in native wild plants, my efforts . in growing vegetables aren't very impressive. There is no plan — no neat rows — and I suppose, it looks as wild as I can make it. Tomatoes are essential to my summer eating. Red fruits that have been nourished by the hot summer sun of July and August have a distinctive taste hard to describe. For this reason, there are more tomato plants than anything else. They have grown to great heights due to all the rain. Many are much taller than I, and their foliage has grown up to mingle their greenness with the pear tree around which they grow. Most of the tomatoes are still green; not enough sun is the cause, I am told. I check them each morning, searching for rosiness. All Things Wild And Wonderful John Trott On a recent morning, I noticed a lack of foliage on one plant. The cause was not hard to find. A very green three-inch tomato hornworm was happily chomping on green foliage. The caterpillar of the sphynx moth is a formidable and beautiful creature, curiously marked and rather fearsome in appearance. A dilemma. Common sense dictated that I remove the caterpillar systematically defoliating the tomato plant. Yet, I was so fascinated with its size and appearance, I hesitated and went back inside to think it over. As an excuse for indecisiveness, I told myself I wanted to show the elegant little monster to Lee Trott, my wife. She has a great interest in butterflies and moths, and this green caterpillar would, if left alone, metamorphize into a handsome moth. Or so I thought at the time. The next day, I went again to see the homworm and found it covered with white objects that looked like tiny grains of rice. Nature had solved my problem. A parasitic wasp, only a half-inch long, had laid her eggs on the caterpillar. On hatching, they had fed on the fatty tissue of the hornworm and crawled to the surface to spin their own little white cocoons. My formidable giant was doomed. It would eat no more tomato greenery and would soon be a deflated tube. Had the hornworm survived, it would have dropped to the ground, and in the long sleep in the soil, miraculously changed and emerged as a night-flying spnynx moth. It is also called hummingbird moth because it hovers in front of deepthroated flowers like a jewel-like bird. This much I knew, but there was more I wanted to know. I have often wished I could take a whole year off and study insects and become an amateur entomologist. As a short cut to obtaining more information, I placed a call to my old friend, Nate Erwin, entomologist and director of the Smithsonian's Insect Zoo. My first question was about the horn on the caterpillar's posterior. What function does it serve? "No specific known purpose," said Nate. "I think it might be a deterrent to birds that might feast on the caterpillar. Since birds, for good reason, go after the head of their prey, they might be confused and think the head is the rear end.” Makes sense. If a bird attacks a snake with intent to eat, the bird wants to immobilize the business end of the snake first. "Why is the adult called a sphynx moth?" I wanted to know. "The caterpillar rears up when threatened and takes on the aspect of a sphynx," said Nate. "And looks formidable," he added, "though they really , have no defenses.” I looked up "sphynx" and found much information. In Greek mythology, a sphynx was a monster with the body of a lion, wings, and the head and bust of a woman that went around asking riddles. If the person could not answer the riddle, he or she was destroyed. Also, "... a person of inscrutable character and pur- » pose." The big green caterpillar defi- . nitely had purpose when chomping on my tomato plants. As to its character, I suppose it could be called "inscrutable." Nate explained that the horn- . worm's best defense was camouflage. I Its color was certainly the same as the greenery it was consuming at a great rate. It was only luck that I found it at all. There is more; there always is in dealing with the complex mysteries , of nature. I wanted to know about the tiny wasp that found and laid . eggs on the caterpillar. I also wanted , to know more about the life history of the adult sphynx moth. The answer to one questions always leads to another. Yet, I must stop someplace, and suppose this is the best time to terminate this story „ of the result of my indecisiveness. I • have run out of space. Write Virginia naturalist John Trott care of this newspaper: P.O. Box 59, Washington, Va., 22747. PTO members live longer By Jimmy Swindler Rappahannock News Writer Yes, it's true. A recent study by a Harvard researcher showed a direct relationship between community involvement and a longer lifespan. And one of the forms of community involvement specifically mentioned was P.T.O. membership! But the good news doesn't stop there. Being an active member of your local Parent Teacher Organization has many positive effects on your life, so many in fact that for your enlightenment (and enjoyment) we are pleased to present our own Top Five Reasons for joining PTO. Reason 5: Free food. That's right, free food, dinner in fact. All of our meetings are potluck affairs which means that in return for bringing one dish, you will be able to treat yourself to a free dinner on one Friday each month. And your family is welcome to participate too which bring us to, Reason 4: Free babysitting. All of our meetings are open to all of your family and we provide babysitters for the business meeting portion. Yes it’s only for one hour and yes you have to attend the business meeting but it's still free babysitting. Reason 3. Lowers your taxes. PTO raises thousands of dollars each year all of which is spent on big and small projects in our schools. Without PTO, funding for these projects would have to come from the school board budget which is funded in large part by your taxes. So, theoretically at least, the more money PTO can raise and spend, the less you have to pay in taxes! Reason 2: Gives you a voice. Face it, all your friends at the store are probably tired of hearing you complain about what should be done at those darn schools. If you come to PTO, your voice will be heard and you may even get to chair a committee to pursue whatever cause you espouse. Reason 1: You'll be a player. Being involved in PTO means you'll get to meet your kid's teachers and school administrators and your kid's friends' parents. You'll make connections that will serve you well throughout your kids' school experience and beyond. You'll break out of that isolationist pattern of work, work, work and find that there is more to school than just the place you pack your kids off to nine months out of the year. You'll have a forum for your input and a means to make changes for the better in our public schools. No you probably won't be able to make the whole world safe for democracy, liberty and equality but you will have a chance to improve our little corner in some positive ways. And of course don't forget the most important reason, as revealed by the previously mentioned Harvard study, PTO membership can lead to a longer life. And - that’s not because time seems to stand still in our long boring meetings either. Our meetings are limited to one hour maximum and we strive to keep them interesting and informative so that you will keep coming back. So join us on Friday, Sept. 15 at the Rappahannock Park at 6 p.m. Bring a dish and smile, we’ll make sure that when you leave you'll still have both, especially the smile!

Hearthstone School to present an evening of eurythmy By Maureen Day Rappahannock News Writer At 7 p.m. on Sept. 9 at the Ki Theater in Washington, Hearthstone School will be presenting the Okanis Performing Artists, an Eurythmy Performance Group from Chicago, in a benefit eurythmy performance for Hearthstone, entitled "Amo Ergo Sum, I Love Therefore I Am', the Poetry of Kathleen Raine in Eurythmy, Speech and Song.” Eurythmists Lisa Meisinger and Laura Radefield have collaborated with the director, actress Hanna Gale Kelleter, and composer, Mary TheinesSchunamann to create an evening of spiritually evocative explorations of the theme of love through movement, speech and song. The performance includes music by Bach played on cello and lyre. This appearance in Rappahannock will begin the group s east coast tour of Amo Ergo Sum. Admission is $8. PACO. I(> yrs.

Language, in this perspective, is experienced as having a direct relationship to the powers of creation. The word is not merely an expression of verbal meaning but an actual force of spiritual energy capable of affecting and changing things through its sheer presence in speech. This understanding finds its most accessible and generally well known expression in New Testament scripture where it is written, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Nevertheless, that a mere < word can be something capable of beginning everything and being with God and even being God, is a rather alien notion to the modern feeling about language simply as a practical tool for communicating technical data, the weather, a recipe for brownies, the latest gossip, the lyrics to "Come as You Are", an objection by the defense, or a television sound bite.

Eurythmy, however involves a recapturing and regaining of the force of the ancient Biblical saying concerning the power of the Word. The world isn't just a hunk of inert matter left on after God invented it, got it running, and tossed it into outer space. The world is in fact a divine affair through and through, a Cosmos, held together by rorces originating in the articulation of that primal and sacred Word the Bible speaks of, and which every other spiritual tradition speaks of, in expressing the basis for an understanding of language as a power of the ' sacred and of creation. In eurythmy, this power of language, so obscure to our modern practical sensibility, becomes manifest. Eurythmy is "visible speech" not as a sort of interpretive pantomime, but as an actual manifestation of the energy of the individual sound element (of spoken words) as units of meaning coming out from characteristic sounds into the forms of characteristic physical gestures. Thus Eurythmy, while objectively a form of dance to be viewed aesthetically, is experienced by the attuned viewer in a manner parallel to the way it is experienced by the performer: as a transformative spiritual effect. It has the power of ritual both in its focused formal qualities and in its evocativeness and in its capacity to generate a sort of sanctuary for spiritual awareness. It is thus a transmitter of the power of the word, and in this regard, the use of eurythmy in the context of the practice of spiritual healing might also be mentioned. Thus even though it can still be thoroughly appreciated as a purely aesthetic visual and aural entertainment, a eurythmy performance is something more. In Amo Ergo Sum the Okanis group strives to "unfold the experience of love" through movement, voice and the words of English poet Kathleen Raine, all brought into a living vividness that will "inspire and feed the soul by engaging our more hidden selves, where we are most profoundly touched by love." The poetry of Kathleen Raine, coming from "the rich tradition of language carried by English Bards throughout history," is perfectly suited for eurythmy. Born in 1904, Raine has always been L something of a nature poet and has been very much responsible for modem critical acceptance and understanding of the significance of the English poet and artist visionary, William Blake. As her work has matured the sense of nature as a theme in it has also matured into a sense of nature as a pervasive spiritual or cosmological principle in all things. Her understanding of the individual and personal as intimately connected with the universal informs the temper of her poetic concerns with a concern for language identical with that found in eurythmy, a feeling for the spiritual power of language. And in this ideal collaboration of the poet's words brought to life through eurythmy in the Okanis group performance, Amo Ergo Sum, we have the opportunity to participate in what amounts to an invocation of the work of high forces flowing into and working through us, in terms of "the nuance, beauty, pain and joy of our most commotr yet most exceptional reality, love." Rappahannock 4-H members took part in State Congress By David Massie Rappahannock News Writer The annual 4-H State Congress, June 19-22 was well represented from Rappahannock. Zach, Ashley, and Nathan Corbin, David Massie, Ben Price, Houston Haynes, Mark Williams, Jeff and Jason Simeon, Ruth Ann Oyster and Jessica Manak were the 11 teenagers that represented Rappahannock. There were 600 youngsters and volunteer leaders from across Virginia who attended the convention held at Virginia Tech. Ruth Ann Oyster and Jessica Manak both competed in the state talent show. They were in the vocal category but didn’t place. "Dim Resistence", which is Ben Price, Houston Haynes and Mark Williams, played in the instrumental category with a song written by the group. David Massie was tapped in as a 2000 4-H All Star at Congress. All Star is the highest honor in the 4-H organization. The Congress theme, "4-H and You: The Combination to Unlock the World", reflects the goals of discovery, service and youth interaction through competition, helping the community, educational tracts, entertainment, and sporting events. The delegation was welcomed to Congress by both of Virginia's Land Grant University Presidents, Virginia Tech President Charles Steger and Virginia State University President Eddie Moore. Delegates completed community service tasks throughout the New River Valley.

"The Captive Spirit" at Middle Street Gallery The Captive Spirit, a one person exhibition featuring the work of Rebecca Humphrey, opens Sept. 8 at The Middle Street Gallery in Washington. A nationally recognized artist, Ms. Humphrey’s work has been in exhibitions at The Renwick Gallery, D.C.; The Taft Museum, Cincinnati; The Tampa Museum of Art; Huntington Galleries, W.Va; The Virginia Museum of Art; and the recently opened Artisans Center of Virginia. Although her work employs a variety of media, Ms. Humphrey's work is based in paper. In her paper making process, cotton is ground with water into a pulp. It is pigmented and placed over relief forms. After the cast paper is dry, the bas-relief objects are removed leaving fossil-like impressions. The juxtaposition of paper, opaque paint, and watercolor heightens the tonality and tactile qualities of this body of work. Watercolors appear through opening in the paper. Allowing the captive spirit to emerge is a motive in both the materiality and the content of these works. The varied subject matter includes fruit, flowers, clocks, water, maps and skies.

We will celebrate Labor Day on Monday, Sept. 4 and for many it will be a day off from work, a paid holiday, but what does it mean? Labor Day is a day to recognize and honor the American Labor Movement. It is always the first Monday in September and is observed in the United States and Canada as a legal holiday. In many countries it is celebrated on May 1. The Knights of Labor inaugurated the celebration of Labor Day in 1882. Different organizations then petitioned for legislation making the day a legal holiday; in 1887 Colorado actually passed the first law to that effect. The day is marked by cessation from usual labor. Labor Day for others means the end of summer vacation and back-to-school for the children. Come Tuesday, Sept. 5 it should go without saying that the roads in our county will begin carrying our most precious cargo: our children. We feel the need to remind drivers to be careful. Reduce speeds in school zones and allow buses the room they need to operate safely. We have all been delayed by a slow-moving bus at one time or another, but let's practice patience. The consequences of rushing to beat a bus certainly can hardly compare with being a few moments late for an appointment. The best way to keep your cool is to allow some extra time to get to work — especially in the morning when traffic tends to be more congested. That way you won't have to get upset about that slow-moving bus in front of you. A leisurely drive to work could become a great habit to start the day. Rappahannock Today Photo courtesy of Jim Warwick « it A familiar site, Wakefield Service Center (Majors) north of Flint Hill. . L. Letters Republicans proud of Bush's record j Mr. Floyd Stilley (Letters, Aug. 23) adequately described how the state of Texas has suffered at the hands of its government, which has been controlled by the Democratic Party since the time of reconstruction. Like Virginia, it took Texans 100 years to elect a Republican governor, and they didn't have a Republican majority in their Senate until four years ago. Sadly, the Democrats' hold on the state House is still unbroken. Let's hope Texas follows Virginia's example and runs these rascals out, too. Until recently, the government of Texas has neglected schools and social services in an attempt to retard the influx of Mexican immigrants. For example, 24 percent of Texans lack health care. However, in California, which has a large immigrant population, and where a Democratic governor and a Democratic legislature reign supreme, 22 percent of the population lacks health care. The problem is discrimination, which' Republicans are remedying. 1 The Texas constitution gives very little power to its governor But allied with immigrants and workers of all stripes, George W. Bush has helped his state make significant strides. For example, Texas, which has a terrible record for toxic discharges, ' * in 1998 reduced its toxic releases by more than any state in the ■ - union. Last year, George W. Bush put 136 old power plants under state regulation, from which they have been excused since 1971 by the Democratic controlled government. We Republicans are proud to have a candidate with the ' record of George W. Bush. Robert M. Darby - WnnHvilb Donations to Camp Fantastic appreciated We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who played a part in this year's Rappahannock Night at Camp Fantastic. Once again, it was a huge success! The committee, Sandra Jenkins, Marie Davis, Ester Settle, Jan Makela, Hal McDermott and Yogi Bear, were invaluable in planning this event. Karla Miller, Robyn Kaye and Jason Kaye offered face painting, and we had our very own clown, Doodlebug making balloon animals for all the campers. Captain Jeff Brown and Deputy Kim Jansen were there with a snow cone machine and kept the snow cones coming all evening. Rev. Phil Bailey provided the music and entertainment. Kathy Gangel and Bruce Jones were our photographers.

While he supports the more moderate and targeted Democratic plan, which would lift the burden of the tax from family farmers and small business owners, he did in fact vote for outright repeal. B.

There is a small cabin on the property. It is thought that this is the location of "Buena Vista," a school of a former day A few of the pupils of this school are known to have been James H. Fletcher, William Meade Fletcher and Justice George Browning. Miss Phyllis Vemer of Washington left Tuesday to assume duties as a practical nurse in the Iliff Nursing Home near Dunn Loring. For 12 years Miss Verner was the everaccommodating ’Phyllis" of the telephone switchboard at Washington. When the dial phones came in, Miss Verner turned her talents to the newspaper office and helped get the Rappahannock News launched in the county. She also served as Washington correspondent for The Virginia Star. During her stay at the desk at the News office, many times people would come in and not recognize her until she spoke. ’Phyllis" was an old friend of theirs by way of the phone, but they knew her only by voice. John R. DeBergh has purchased the James S. Settle apple orchard located one-quarter mile east of Flint Hill in Wakefield District. 25 YEARS AGO Sept. 4, 1975 In a week or two the bulk of the apple harvest will begin in Rappahannock. Orchards are mowed in preparation of the pickers. In a lead photograph Amos Clark works in the Snead Orchards near Washington. Enrollment in Rappahannock County Schools is down 37 from last year, Superintendent O.A. Norton told the School Board Tuesday night. That may not seem like much, but for a small county with a total of 1184 students in the school system it's a lot, Norton said. And it's less than Rappahannock’s School Board members predicted when they drew up this year's budget. The money which will come to the county from the State of Virginia is partially determined by "average daily attendance" or enrollment. Airman Louis H. Cordle, son of Mrs. Eleanor M. Cordle of Sperryville has been selected for technical training in the U.S. Air Force aircraft equipment maintenance field at Chanute AFB, 111. 10 YEARS AGO Aug. 30, 1990 Mr. and Mrs. John J. Dwyer's donation of an open-space easement of 914.9 acres just north of Massie’s Comer is not only the largest in the county to date, but also protects part of one of the county s most splendid views. The easement, granted to the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, means that tight restrictions have been placed on the future development of the property. The acreage is part of the Dwyers' Black Rock Farm and includes the slopes of both Big Mulky and Little Mulky mountains, just west of U.S. 522. The population of Rappahannock County increased by only 470 people during the last decade, according to newly-released preliminary 1990 Census figures. Over 20 descendants of William Johnson of Red Oak Mountain met Sunday at Breezy Hill for the 31st Johnson family reunion. Local members of the Johnson family, which first bought Red Oak Mountain in 1764, included Raymond Johnson, Bryan and Janice Johnson and Rick and Sherry Johnson with their children, Julie and K.C. Records of family history on display included minutes from the first reunion on Red Oak Mountain in 1952, a book tracing the family back to William Johnson and a 1936 quilt made and signed by family members and several local residents. -COMPILED BY BARBARA C.

Camp Fantastic 2000 rocks to a 50's beat By Jan Palmer and Bev Atkins Rappahannock News Writers On Tuesday evening, Aug. 22 children who were participating in Camp Fantastic at the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center enjoyed food and entertainment provided by restaurants, businesses, individuals and civic clubs in and around Rappahannock County. This was the 18th year that Camp Fantastic, a camp for children between the ages of seven and 17 who are cancer patients at NIH, has been conducted. Camp Fantastic is sponsored by Special Love, Inc. One-hundred and five "fantastic children" along with doctors, nurs! es, and 4-H teen leaders who serve as camp counselors attended the camp. We work with a great group from the community to plan this event each year. This year, our committee consisted of Sandra Jenkins, Ester Settle, Jan Makela, Marie Davis, Hal McDermott and Yogi Bear. The theme for this year's Rappahannock Night was "Rock 'N Roll- the 50's." Josh Makela and Jesse Palmer helped put together goodie bags for each camper that contained a pair of "cool" sunglasses, a lollipop, stickers, and a special "Camp Fantastic 2000Rappahannock Night" cup. Karla Miller, Robyn Kaye and Jason Kaye were there with their ever popular face painting, and' "Doodlebug" was our "official" clown. Captain Jeff Brown and Deputy Kim Jansen came with a snow cone machine and handed out snow cones throughout the evening. Rev. Phil Bailey of the Washington Baptist Church played his guitar and entertained everyone with his selection of rock ’n roll tunes. The Honorable Jay Katzen joined us for this annu al event, and everyone had a great time! Many restaurants, businesses, individuals and civic clubs once again made donations to ensure that our "Rappahannock Night” at Camp Fantastic was successful. These included: Bleu Rock Inn, fried chicken; The Public House, Pizza Hut, Melting Pot, Mountainside Market, pizza; Muskrat Haven, corn; The Country Cafe and Ben Venue Market, fruit; Settle's Grocery, butter, salt and pepper, corn boats, and bottled water; Ester Settle and Arland Welch, macaroni and cheese; The Inn and Rae's Place, quiche; Rappahannock Lions' Club, tacos; Vivian Yancey, Janet Eastham and the Rappahannock Homemakers, desserts; Frank Huff and the Pepsi Cola Bottling Company, Sandra Jenkins and Maybelle Gilkey, drinks; Hillsdale Grocery, ice and Charlotte Tummeyer, paints. Monetary donations were secured to cover all the miscellaneous expenses involved in carrying out this Rappahannock tradition: The Rappahannock National Bank, F & M National Bank at Flint Hill, American Cancer Society, Ron and Jan Makela, E.G. and Dorothy Hackley, Frances Foster and Willie Cloud. In addition Donna Brune, owner of Persimmon Springs Florist in Huntly, made and donated beautiful "soda fountain" floral arrangements and a centerpiece for the tables. Kathy Gangel and Bruce Jones circulated throughout the evening with the camera, capturing the event for the newspaper and our scrapbook. We sincerely appreciate all the donations that made this annual event possible. We feel very fortunate to be able to participate in Camp Fantastic each year, even in a small way, and we are already making plans for next year. Thanks to all of you! WHOSE SHOES? Can you believe Ester Settle wore these in the 50's? Johnny Bee Good is still popular and Chuck Berry is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Farewell wishes to Audrey J. Horning It is always nice to meet new people. Some stay in our lives, and others move on, but were always glad for the memories they all leave. Audrey J. Homing is leaving our neighborhood Sept. 8 for Queens University in Belfast, Ireland. She chose this as she has relatives there, but she will still be with the Archives in Ireland. She is originally from Pennsylvania but has lived in Jenkins Hollow and Old Hollow for the past 15 years. She worked for the Department of Archaeological Research at Colonial Williamsburg and also had a contract with the Shenandoah National Park, where she directed the survey of Rural Mountain Settlements. She wrote the "Shenandoahs1 Secret History" that was published in the January/February 2000 issue of the "Archaeology Magazine". For those of you who did not read it, it was about Corbin, Nicholson, and Weakley Hollows, before and after the Shenandoah National Park. She is still associated with Colonial Williamsburg and the Shenandoah Park Service, and will be returning from time to time. We wish you well, Audrey, and we hope you enjoy your work there.

How effective is your parenting style? By Kimberly L.K. Finn Licensed Professional Counselor Most parents have heard the debate about how much of a child's personality is based on what they are born with, "nature", versus what they experience, "nurture". This debate has been heated and long lasting; however, more and more clinical research supports the idea that a child is the product of a combination of their genetics and their environment. Because there is not a great deal parents can change about genetic makeup (with the exception of abstaining from alcohol and other drug use during pregnancy), it may be helpful for parents to periodically evaluate what charac teristics, attitude and behaviors their child is displaying in order to evaluate the effectiveness of their current parenting approach. In order to determine your parenting style, it is necessary to evaluate your parenting approach on two dimensions including the affection level (acceptance versus rejection) and the control level (restrictiveness versus permissiveness). Within the affection dimension, characteristics of an accepting parent include general satisfaction of and enjoyment of time with their child, provision of positive reinforcement, and sensitivity to a child's needs and viewpoints. In contrast, a rejecting Grand deepening Under New and Better Management!

Within the control dimension, a restrictive parent provides clear rules and consequences for rule violations, consistently enforces rules, and rarely gives into coercive demands. On the other hand, permissive parent is often the opposite. He or she often does not establish clear rules or expectations, provide consequences for inappropriate behaviors, or consistently enforce rules. Additionally, a permissive parent is also likely to give in to a child's demands. Research supports the concept that the most effective parents are high on the acceptance and control dimensions.* In other words, children respond the best to parents who are nurturing yet clear about the expectations they have of their children. Productive parenting is characterized by an insistence on mature behavior, moderate to high restrictiveness (control), and high responsiveness to their child’s needs, parental acceptance, and positive involvement in their child's life. Ineffective parenting is often accompanied by a low level of acceptance, unyielding restrictiveness, lack of expectations for mature behaviors, lack of or inconsistency in responsiveness, and negative involvement. Frequently I work with frustrated parents who bring their child in so that they can be ’fixed". In my experience, there are indeed some cases in which the child is the one with the "problem". However, in the large majority of child and adolescent cases, it is the dynamics within family relationships which are significantly contributing to negative behaviors. In summary, if you would like to see improvements in your child's behavior, it may be important to evaluate how you presently interact with your child, your parenting style, and if it would be helpful to modify your own behaviors in order to change your child's. • Research information provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Even though we may not be acquainted with the person leading the mass of friends and relatives, we know that we will someday share his or her fate. This realization can give rise to a flood of ideas and questions. Whether this leaves us changed for a moment, a lifetime, or not at all is a much harder question to answer. In any case, the reflection should be welcomed. As the British writer Gerald Brenan once wrote, “When we attend the funerals of our friends we grieve for them, but when we go to those of other people it is chiefly our own deaths that we mourn for.” Loss is simply a part of life. That doesn't mean we have to like it, but those who seek a meaningful life often embrace this truth to better savor the time they have, rather than trying to prevent the losses that affect us all. At the Moser Funeral Home, we are glad to offer suggestions for resources that can help you deal with the particular sense of loss children face over the death of one near to them. We're at 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton.
